Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance. See defrost instructions.

■

Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.

Installation

■

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

■

During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in the relevant paragraph.

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

■

If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

■

There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.

■

Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall.

■

If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.

USE

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Temperature control

Turn knob ➆beyond the «O» position until its pointer coincides with the required setting.

The minimum setting (least cold) is represented by

the lowest number and the maximum setting (coldest) by the highest number.

To safely store frozen and deep-frozen foods, the inner temperature of the freezer must be at least

-18°C or colder. The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted

depending on the inner temperature of the appliance, which, in turn, depends on a number of factors, such as: the ambient temperature, the number of times the door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the location of the appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.

If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once the foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset for normal storage use.

Food to be frozen has to be placed in the appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use the top compartment.

The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be found on the bottom left-hand side. You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on the appliance’s rating plate.

Quick freezing

Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast freeze switch ➁. The pilot lamp ➂will then light up. The SUPER function can be ended by pressing the button

➁

again. The yellow light goes out.

Warning light

This light ➃ warns when the temperature inside the appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the preservation of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the ﬁrst time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light remains on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage.

Acoustic alarm

This appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives off a sound signal whenever the warning light comes on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by depressing the push button for fast freezing ➁. The fast freezing push button can be released as soon as the warning light is off.

The appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives off a sound signal when the door remains open for more than 60 seconds. To stop this sound signal close the door.

Freezing Calendar

The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.

Storage of frozen food

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

Important If there is a power failure when food is in

the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 20 hours) and the freezer is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).

Cold accumulators

The freezer contains two cold accumulators which can be found in the top compartment. The cold accumulators increase storage times in the event of a power cut or breakdown. They must be placed on top of the food. Removal of these units will increase the capacity of the fast freezing compartment but will reduce storage times in the event of a power cut or breakdown.

Freezing of fresh foods

To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the
